Newly downloaded plugin not showing in Reaper
Hi, me again! I recently learned about Little Sound Dj, and I'm excited to mess around with it. I downloaded the VST from here and added it to my VST folder. When I opened Reaper, I could not find the VST. I re-scanned my plugin folder and it still wasn't showing up.

"FL_Studio isn't good at emulating Gameboy hardware"
This is done by using the emulator sameboy, being wrapped into a VST, then integrated into FL. The wrapper is called retroplug, and was created by tommitytom on GitHub. https://github.com/tommitytom/RetroPlug. The plugin is meant to be used for LSDJ (a tracker that runs on Gameboy hardware) to be able to run in traditional DAW's. However, it's still a fully functioning emulator, meaning any .gb can be run on it, including Pokemon.

How to get into this in 2021?
Lastly, if you want to play in an emulator, I highly recommend RetroPlug. It is tailor-made for LSDJ and has a TON of awesome extra LSDJ-specific features.

Hi Huge Question! I'm looking to make my music live! I need Help!
One solution you might look into is the VST RetroPlug. It's a GB emulator in a VST, so you could load it into the DAW, boot up mGB on it, and then you can control that with a MIDI controller.

UVI "8-Bit Synth" collection of sounds created with Commodore 64, Game Boy, SID Station, Mod Machine and more for UVI Workstation/Falcon - Intro Price ($59) through 8 February
If you just want to do simple stuff, there are 2 good free options: YMCK Magical 8bit Plug, or if you want more authentic, RetroPlug (a VST gameboy emulator) with mGB as a ROM. If you just want to play basic notes/arpeggios controlled from your DAW these will do the job just fine.

Gameboy = Chiptunes alarm clock
screen rotation -> yes, it should be possible, I need to sort up my tiles any way ROM too big -> my first version in C was under 32K but had a really shitty music., what takes so much space in the current version is the music. I use https://github.com/jkotlinski/lsdpack, this tool plays LSDJ tunes through and emulator and dumps the registers into an asm file, that I include in my project.
